It looks that way, esp. with the amount of short trips each I need to take (~5 miles round trip) 4 days a week with lots of stop/go, which is what I assume is typically referenced as severe driving conditions, compared to HWY, less stress to transmission/brakes/engine (thermal and mechanical,) but more so for wear on the suspension for the highway, esp hitting at high speeds asphalt lips -- on the I280, in NJ, there has been 2 lips on two lanes in a spot I think just before or after the Oranges for at least 8 years the DOT never fixed, anything over 60MPH and your vehicle get impacted hard, most traffic in that area is due to people aware of it slowing for it, but if you didn't know....
